LinkedIn post from their Senior Aviation Manager (used to be in Route Development). GLA needs someone like this guy

Ryanair have dropped FCO.

That was their only Rome service wasn't it?

An opportunity for GLA to get LS to increase?

Of course EDI will replace it very quickly I wager cause they're on the ball - unlike at GLA, where routes are lost and they serially fail to find any replacement.

EDI-FCO was only for the 6 nations, EZY?? and FR still fly EDI-CIA

Edinburgh Airport warns of disruption ahead of travel surge

EDI are putting out stories about how they are going to be SOOOOO BUSY - whilst GLA are spreading tales of hyperbolic negativity.

It may look like a negative story but it's actually a positive one that shows the airport is very very busy - very clever imo. EDI are light years ahead when it comes to media management!

Airlines will be reading these stories - I wonder which airport they will pick to fly to?

Afaik CIA is still operational. Schedules have all changed for the summer season compared to previous years; it’s a dogs breakfast of what flies where and when. Yesterday DY cancelled the CPH at short notice and after my KLM day ( first time for many, many months and good to be back on old turf) I was on FR to KRK followed by BTS.

It’s not just security that’s short staffed, we all are and gate space is at a premium! Quarts into pint pots.

Agreed - gets the message across that we have lots of flights this summer (following up on Virgin Atlantic's media launch on first flight to Orlando)

They’ll be picking the same one that they’ve been picking for years.

Phew! Thank God for that because after serving GLA for years, I really didn't want VS to migrate to EDI.

Hmmm point spotted: Well as we know, they’ve made their bed up now as well and hopefully they don’t become comfortable in it? … Time will tell via footfall, loads margins etc, as they didn’t do badly at all at GlA. It’ll not be some awww inspiring offer from a stagnant management team at GlA that shows them the error of their move.
